Governors urge leaders to end current IEBC standoff

Council of Governors (CoG) Chairman Peter Munya

Governors have expressed concern over the impasse on the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC). The county chiefs lauded President Uhuru Kenyatta’s decision to propose formation of a Joint Select Committee of Parliament, but pointed out that the hard line positions and the rising tension were not good for the country.

Council of Governors (CoG) Chairman Peter Munya (Meru) said: “IEBC was a subject of a consultative meeting convened by the Council on June 7, 2016. This is a good window of opportunity and a first step in the right direction.”
